#and betrayal of dignity

[cloudprincesslady]

it always makes me laugh when people are reading manga/mahnwa bitching and moaning about the male lead being a walking red flag or the main relationship being toxic and unhealthy. like. my dude. you chose to read a story with a title like "the yandere emperor is obsessed with me!" what did you EXPECT. personally if he's "fixed" or the story ends with them in a perfectly healthy relationship I'm giving it a thumbs down!

BETRAYAL OF DIGNITY IS SO GOOD WHAT

Oh my god my head is filling with ideas. Like it's legitimately so interesting. I don't care about the romance (cuz god forbid) but the characters and the plot is INSANE. It's nothing that I have not seen before, but the way it was written is so interesting and jaw dropping. Like I shed tears, rolled my eyes, frowned in disdain from reading this manhwa.

Damien is the pinnacle of what the term yandere is to me. Manipulative, perfect tint for his red flag, everything that he did was to make sure that Chloe is ensnared in his hold and hand. AND HE FUCKING SUCCEEDS! He's insane for doing all of these things and thinks that Chloe still wants to be in his arm (iykyk) especially in chapter 40-50s it was interesting seeing how his mindset works when Chloe realized that everything was built on a lie to ensnare her.

Chloe too is such a strong woman. Personally, I cannot bro. I probably would have folded in ways even contortionists can't. She's smart, not weak willed, and despite giving into Damien's wiles, she still has her own heart and mind set in stone and didn't forgive him that easily. Although, it's still not that far after the latest chapter's events (chapter 50), and i'm still not sure if she'll forgive him after that, but god am I conflicted.

I cannot say about the disabled rep here though, but from what i've seen, Chloe's disability (her leg being disabled is apparently from a sickness) is not that much of a liability to her, and is also not disregarded. But I cannot say for sure!

If ya'll want a manipulative type of yandere and a strong willed darling, this manhwa is a recommendation. If I have to rank it, it's 8.5/10!

Now excuse me while I'll write. I thank Damien for throwing me out of my writer's block.

A sentence I never imagined I’d write: I now think Jeremy Corbyn did Jews in Britain a favour. His time as Labour leader, between 2015 and 2020, was an extremely weird one for British Jews, but eye-opening all the same: I now think it prepared many of us for the Left’s reaction to October 7, whereas American Jews seemed far more surprised. The gaslighting (the attack didn’t happen), the defences (if it did, Jews deserved it), the hectoring moral superiority (how can you care about that when this is so much more important?): all that we saw after October 7, we had seen under Corbyn.

Now is not the place to rehash the many examples of Corbyn’s jaw-dropping attitudes towards Jews, never mind Israel, ideas some of us naively thought had died out with Stalin. Those are specific to Corbyn, whose political relevance is now, thankfully, in the past. But two general truths emerged from that era that would prove extremely relevant after October 7.

The first was how little people across the Left cared when Jews pointed out the obvious antisemitism they saw in the Labour Party. In 2018, 86% of British Jews said they believed Corbyn was antisemitic; and still the Left supported him, and still The Guardian backed him in the 2019 general election. Would they — good Lefties one and all — have done this if the vast majority of another minority said they believed Corbyn was bigoted against them? Would the Left have supported an Islamophobic leader in 2018? A homophobic one? A racist one? It’s hard to imagine. “What are Jews so scared of? It’s not like Corbyn’s going to bring back pogroms,” a prominent figure on the Left asked me. I briefly amused myself by imagining a response: “Why are black people so against the Tories? It’s not like they’ll bring back lynching.” But I stayed schtum. The Left doesn’t care about antisemitism if they deem it inconvenient to their cause. They just call it “anti-Zionism” and carry on, and that was — it turned out — a good lesson to learn.

Manhwa/Webcomics with really interesting stories and beautiful art but have ick MLs that are still interesting:

Cry or Better Yet Beg

This male lead is a bird killer that I am told only gets worse as the story progresses. I’m not going to say what he’s going to do to her but it’s horrible, a trigger warning would be necessary for even a watered down explanation. He sees her as a canary in a cage, his canary in his cage if you will. The comic is being made and is still in the earlier stages of the story but there is a web novel out there.

Kneel Before Me

This is the most developed of the three. The male lead isn’t human and he doesn’t think like us in a lot of ways. He is very obsessed with the female lead. As long as he is on her brain he is happy with that and he’s going for long lasting results (or so he says but I don’t think he really truly wants her hatred). He believes that love doesn’t last but hatred can. He sees her kind of like a pet but, she does have a level of influence over him. He’s also a villain and he’s done some messed up stuff to her. He didn’t start out quite a villain though, more like her dangerous ally(?) and she’s the one thing keeping him in line. This is also based on a novel.

Betrayal of Dignity

Like the other two THIS. MAN. IS. OBSESSIVE. It’s bad for her ngl. He’s a highly manipulative man as well. These men are basically the same person in most ways. All of the women are smart, though Layla doesn’t seem calculating and she has no power in this thus far unlike the other two who can be calculating and they do at least gain power or start out with it. This female lead is reserved and will do anything for those she loves (also like the fl in KBM). She comes from a (by noble standards) penniless family. As a result of this she marries a Duke who decides he needs to marry a woman in her family (he’s shooting for her though via manipulation). This is most likely because he finds her to be fascinating and he later finds a reason to pursue her in marriage. The leads fall for one another but again, he is manipulating everything always. He is by far the most ambitious of all of the leads I’ve mentioned thus far.

All of the male leads are ick but they’re interesting and the story is interesting and I’m rooting for the female leads so I can’t not read all of these. I thought about adding The Devil and his Sacrifice but I hate the male lead more than I find the story interesting so it just gets an honorable mention.

Give me a bunch of manga/manhwa/just stories in general guys. Something interesting and with relatively good art please. 🙏🙏🙏

Tropes I like: arranged marriages, strong female characters, simpy men, morally grey characters, friends to lovers, historical fiction in general, cute romances

[paleghostinthecorner02]

So when is Damien going to admit to Chloe he's a kinky little painslut?

I would like to personally thank Betrayal of Dignity for giving me a proper Red Flag ML not like the piece of shit ML from Runaway Mistress. This is how you properly grieve your dead wife who faked it her death so she can leave your ass

[gizkasparadise]

betrayal of dignity's male lead is like if you took gu tingye's ability to manipulate someone into marriage, tantai jin's goth phase over his wife's corpse, and a more slutty mr darcy's wardrobe and threw them in a blender for unmitigated unhinged fuckery

[orangejuice707]
